![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The direct USB output also allows the microphone to be used without a separate mic preamplifier or the source of phantom power that condenser mics normally require, as everything is powered from the USB port.Judging by the specifications and the price, Samson have targetted this microphone at the entry-level home-studio user and multimedia market, as more demanding applications would probably require 24-bit output resolution, although Samson have gone to great lengths to make the best of the 16 bits available. The main limitation of most basic 'digital' microphones of this type is that the internal preamp has a fixed gain prior to the analogue-to-digital conversion stage, so you only get full resolution when the microphone is hearing the maximum signal level it can accept without clipping, but Samson have been quite clever in their design. #SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE FULL# Singing at an average level, a couple of inches from the C01U, resulted in a peak level of around -20dB, which with a fixed gain structure would knock at least three 'bits' off the available 16-bit resolution. ![]() This would be most undesirable, so Samson's engineers have added a two-stage variable analogue gain cell inside the microphone prior to the converter. If you just use the mic as it comes, the computer's own system gain control actually governs the mic's internal gain cell (in the Audio MIDI Setup controls, in the case of Mac OS). However, as documented in the manual, you can also download a control panel applet, called Soft Pre, from the Samson web site, and this can be used to control the internal gain of the mic. #SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE DOWNLOAD# Up to +48dB of additional gain is available, and the applet also provides metering, variable-frequency low-cut filtering and a phase invert switch.The downloadable Soft Pre applet allows software control over the C01U's gain cell and other attributes. #SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE DOWNLOAD#.#SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE SOFTWARE#.#SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE PRO#.#SAMSON SOUND DECK FOR WINDOWS FREE FULL#. ![]()
